Now, I don't know who's the bigger dork, the people who sat down and made this shit up or me...who finds this shit HILARIOUS. Spent my math class watching the teacher talk (because she talks SO quiet, I can only watch.) and played about a billion games of tic tac toe and connect four with this guy next to me. I was on a roll tonight with the answers, it rocked.
Work was also...interesting. The weather was getting kind of bad at HPPD, so we had to stack all the kids in the locker room, so they all flipped out. =\ I had the most bad ass girl (aka the bully) cowering next to me until I left. She said she felt safe around me, I was like her stepmother. I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry. =\ It made me feel a little better inside.
Well, I have a jester to draw out and illustrate, and a zippo to finish drawing and turn into a reflective object. Ah, homework land, here I come.
I'm out like last year's fashion,
